Studio Production Techniques - In the Box or In the Desk?
Read more . . . →I've been doing a lot of research into audio production lately. I have been a subscriber to Future Music magazine for about a year, and a reader for much longer. They often go into very big studios with the biggest names in electronic music and I'm always very interested in what gear the stars are using. While most of this equipment is out of my price range seeing this expensive gear in operation is certainly interesting. Many producers mix in the box, this definitely has some advantages. When I use Logic 9 I am able to pick up and sit...

MIDI Synth in Max for Live
Read more . . . →When Ableton first announced Max for Live I knew this plugin / add on would be a game changer. I had to get a copy as soon as possible. For the uninitiated max for live basically lets you use a simple graphical programming language, called max/msp within Ableton Live. This lets advanced users program custom interfaces and controls that have access to every piece of information Ableton Live knows about the audio. The possibilities of extending the features of the application are limited only by the programming skill and creative needs of the user. I have used the software a...

Music Mondays: Cassius - Love You So (Skream Remix)
Read more . . . →Let me start off by first warning: This is NOT the real music video for this song/remix. I have been a big fan of the Skream remix to Cassius' I Love You So ever since I first heard it a couple months ago. The original is released on the French electronic label Ed Banger (as in "head banger" pronounced by zee French) is very similar in sound yet radically different in style. I've been a fan of Justice and Uffie as well but haven't heard enough other releases to really know for sure if I'm an Ed Banger myself when...

Buying a New MacBook Pro? Maybe hold off for a little bit . . .
Read more . . . →Just a couple months ago I bought a new MacBook Pro (2.8ghz i7) for use at school and with music projects, such as Not MJ but I also learned a very valuable tip for anybody planning a MacBook Pro purchase. Make sure a new model isn't about to hit the streets I ran into a little bit of trouble because originally I had purchased the (at the time) top of the line 17" MacBook Pro. Not even a full week later Apple announced faster processors (the 2.8 ghz i7) replacing the machine I had just purchased. I weighed my options...
